yesterday was tax day. and tax season was more stressful than it needed to be. our tax code is a rue amaze. today it's 4 million words long. enough to fill 70,000 pages. in fact it's so long that roughly 90% of americans pay for professional help to file the tax returns. this cost them $16 0 billion each year. $16 0 billion spent by americans filling out their taxes. and then after that trouble the process leads them as the colleague put it like a crook or sucker. we also have the highest corporate tax rate which hurts workers most of all. high corporate tax rate means they take home less pay than otherwise. i'm glad it call the for corporate tax reform. we agree on the problem. of the income in taxes. that is n our opinion is unfair. it hurts jobs, we need reform the individual tax code as well. but they don't want to use the money to lower the rate to spur economic growth. they want to pay for more spending inspect fact the president's budget was released last month or last week calls for 1.1 trillion in new spending. and short the president's plan take more f

some counties have different taxes that they add on to their sales tax or they have a municipal tax. and they're saying that will be 9,600 different tax codes, it's almost impossible. for anyone to participate in this piece of legislation, they have got to make a decision on one of those five, five criteria i just mentioned. that brings the tax code down to 46. it simplifies it. so that argument doesn't hold either, the complication of 96, and i know it's been used with our good friend from new hampshire. the beauty of a state without a sales tax that doesn't want to participate, they don't have to. that's the beauty of it. they don't have to. they don't have to participate. they don't have to collect the sales tax from their people, as i said earlier. so they had that option. i know the arguments against the legislation, but again i would say they are just wrong. some critics say this is a tax increase. that's wrong. if i'm paying 6% in west virginia, would i go to a store in fairmont, charleston, huntington, martinsburg, greenbrier, lewisburg, wherever go, it's the same 6%. the onl
